Figure 14 B shows being developed the weighing apparatus module by for example magnetic and is presenting on the surface 1302 the example through the montage 1110 of reflow after the balance.Each adjacent block that magnetic has developed weighing apparatus module 1014 inspecteds, for example, piece 1402,1404,1406,1408 and 1410, and check in these pieces any one whether in a side of this fixed dimension than having more white space at opposite side.For example, piece 1404 has the white space of three line spaces below magnetic pastes 3.When not balanced white space was identified, magnetic developed the weighing apparatus module and can be moved into the center that is positioned at as much as possible this fixed dimension by the adjacent block that magnetic is pasted and come this white space of balance.If have white space or the blank line of even number, then removable this group is so that exist the row of equal amount in the above and below of this group.If there is the blank line of Odd number, then this group can be moved so that the quantity of the row of the quantity of the row of top and below differs 1.By making piece 1404(Magnetic attachment 3) 1 row is arranged above it and thereunder there are 2 row to make it placed in the middle.In one embodiment, be placed in the sub-fraction of gridblock if magnetic pastes, then can make this group placed in the middle by make the white space that equals below this group at the white space above this group in fixed dimension.

Figure 15 illustrates the embodiment for the logic flow 1500 of reflow montage.Logic flow 1500 can represent by one or more embodiment described herein (such as montage use 140,1100 present assembly 532,1010) in the performed operation partly or entirely.

In the illustrated embodiment shown in Figure 15, logic flow 1500 can receive montage to show presenting the surface at frame 1502.For example, montage is used 140 and can be received montage from this locality storage or from network storage server on computing equipment.This montage can comprise that a plurality of magnetic that present paste and reference layout.Present the surface and can comprise grid, translation direction and fixed dimension.

Logic flow 1500 can determine that this fixed dimension that presents the surface is whether less than the fixed dimension of reference layout at frame 1504.For example, presenting assembly 1010 can compare the quantity that presents the gridblock in the fixed dimension of the quantity of gridblock in the fixed dimension on surface and reference layout.

If not little in frame 1504 these fixed dimension that present the surface, then can use reference layout shown with its primitive form at frame 1508 these montages.

In an embodiment (not shown), if it is less to present the fixed size on surface, then this montage can be scaled to be fit to.For example, if paste and present the surface can a reduced threshold percentage to being not less than the original clip picture for magnetic, for example, and 90%, then convergent-divergent may be just enough, and do not need reflow.Can affect convergent-divergent whether separately other enough factors for example can comprise that it is not too little that magnetic through convergent-divergent pastes according to a threshold value, perhaps the text that sticks of magnetic is fit to still put into that this magnetic pastes and/or be not too little.

If present the fixed dimension less (and convergent-divergent is not to accept option) on surface at frame 1504 places, then logic flow 1500 can be revised magnetic at frame 1506 and be attached to position on the grid, keeps simultaneously magnetic and pastes and each other space characteristics.Figure 16 and 17 has described the example of the operation of frame 1506.

Logic flow 1500 can show montage at frame 1508 subsequently.If at frame 1506 reflow montage, then this demonstration will be used the layout through reflow of montage.

Figure 16 illustrates for determining that magnetic is placed with an embodiment of the logic flow 1600 of putting when the reflow montage.Logic flow 1600 can represent by in the performed operation of one or more embodiment described herein (pasting reflow module 1012 such as the magnetic that presents assembly 1010) partly or entirely.Logic flow 1600 can represent from the operation of the frame 1506 of logic flow 1500 some or all.The illustrative purpose that is exemplified as that logic flow 1600 can contact among Figure 11 and Figure 13 is described, but is not subjected to these example limits.For following discussion, fixing vertical dimension and the translation direction of level have been supposed; Yet logic flow 1600 can be carried out similarly for fixing horizontal dimensions and vertical translation direction.

In illustrative embodiments illustrated in fig. 16, logic flow 1600 can be upgraded the grid dimension at frame 1602.For example, present assembly 1010 can according in the frame 1504 of logic flow 1500, make determine to upgrade present the surface fixed dimension.With reference to the example of Figure 11 and 13, fixed dimension can be updated to 6 row from 7 row.

Logic flow 1600 can be selected the first magnetic to paste in frame 1604 and put it into the position, the upper left corner that presents the surface.For example, magnetic pastes 1 and is placed with its upper left corner in the gridblock at row 0, row 0 place.

In frame 1606, logic flow 1600 can determine whether that more magnetic paste and will place.If not many magnetic paste will not place, then logic flow 1600 can advance to frame 1702 among Figure 17 at frame 1626.Alternatively, logic routine 1600 can stop.

When having more magnetic subsides to place, the space characteristics that logic flow 1600 can be selected next magnetic to paste and determine to paste with respect to last magnetic at frame 1608.For example, magnetic pastes the magnetic subsides (for example magnetic pastes 2) that reflow module 1012 can be selected next order, and searches it in the reference layout from montage and paste 1 space characteristics with respect to magnetic, for example, and D score.

Depend on space characteristics, can follow from the difference of decision block 1610 and place rule.

When space characteristics was " right side ", logic flow 1600 can be pasted this magnetic at frame 1612 and be adjoined last magnetic subsides and paste right side placement at this last magnetic.

When space characteristics was D score, whether logic flow 1600 can determine to have below last magnetic pastes sufficient space to place current magnetic at frame 1614 was pasted.For example, the magnetic quantity of pasting the blank line below the bottom margin that vertical dimension that reflow module 1012 can paste this magnetic and last magnetic pastes compares.When the vertical dimension of pasting when this magnetic exceeded the quantity of available rows, logic flow 1600 was in frame 1616 can be placed with this magnetic top row in first available column that last magnetic pastes the right side.For example, initial (left side) edge that this magnetic pastes can be placed in these row, and wherein the upper left corner is placed in this top row.Term in this context " available " refers to wherein not put into the magnetic subsides and has abundant empty row (or row) space of adjoining hold the row (or going) that this magnetic pastes.

When having living space below last magnetic pastes, logic flow 1600 can be placed with this magnetic below this last magnetic pastes at frame 1618.For the purpose of logic flow 1600, D score magnetic pastes has skew 0.In one embodiment, the start edge of these last and current magnetic subsides can be aligned.From each example, magnetic pastes 2 and has vertical dimension 3, and magnetic subsides 1 thereunder have 4 nulls.Therefore, the magnetic subsides 2 from magnetic subsides 1 to D score can be placed on magnetic and paste 1 below, as seen in Figure 13.

When space characteristics was " upper and right ", logic flow 1600 can initially be pasted this magnetic the start edge that pastes from last magnetic its side-play amount that moves right at frame 1620.In one embodiment, these magnetic subsides and this last magnetic paste and can align in their top.If it is not overlapping that these magnetic are attached to this position, then at frame 1622, logic flow 1600 can be placed this magnetic and be pasted.

If overlapping in frame 1622 these magnetic subsides, then logic flow 1600 can determine whether have living space at frame 1614 below this last magnetic pastes.If have living space, logic flow 1600 can be placed with this magnetic below this last magnetic pastes at frame 1618, and wherein its start edge is at this deviation post place.

If do not have the space at frame 1614 below this last magnetic pastes, then logic flow 1600 is in frame 1616 can be placed with this magnetic top row in the first available column that this last magnetic pastes the right side.

Logic flow 1600 repeats, until all magnetic paste all by reflow.

Show some representative illustration about Figure 11 and 13,

Magnetic pastes 3 from magnetic subsides 2 to D score, pastes 3 so logic flow 1600 determines not have below magnetic pastes 2 the space to place magnetic at frame 1614.Magnetic pastes 3 and is placed on the place, top that magnetic pastes next available column on 2 right side, for example, pastes 1 by magnetic.

Magnetic pastes 4 and pastes 3 to " right side " from magnetic, adjoins magnetic and pastes 3 and paste 3 right side at magnetic and place so logic flow 1600 pastes 4 at frame 1612 with magnetic.

Magnetic pastes 5 from magnetic subsides 4 to " upper and right ", and wherein skew is 2.Logic flow 1600 is pasted 5 at frame 1620 with magnetic and is pasted 4 start edges, two row that move right from magnetic.At frame 1622, logic flow 1600 determines that magnetic paste 5 and paste 4 overlapping with magnetic.Logic flow 1600 is determined to have living space below magnetic pastes 4 at frame 1614 subsequently, and below frame 1618 is placed on magnetic subsides 5 magnetic subsides 4, but at the start edge right side of magnetic subsides 4 two row.

Magnetic pastes 6 from magnetic subsides 5 to D score, so logic flow 1600 determines do not have the space below magnetic pastes 5 at frame 1614, and is placed on the top that magnetic pastes next available column on 5 right sides at frame 1616 with magnetic subsides 6, for example, pastes 4 by magnetic.

Magnetic pastes 7 and pastes 6 to " right side " from magnetic, adjoins magnetic and pastes 6 and paste 6 right side at magnetic and place so logic flow 1600 pastes 7 at frame 1612 with magnetic.

Magnetic pastes 8 from magnetic subsides 7 to " upper and right ", and wherein skew is 2.Logic flow 1600 is pasted 8 at frame 1620 with magnetic and is pasted 7 start edges, two row that move right from magnetic.At frame 1622, logic flow 1600 determines that magnetic paste 8 and do not paste 7 overlappingly with magnetic, and at frame 1624 magnetic is pasted 8 and pastes 7 by magnetic and place.

Magnetic subsides 9 and magnetic paste 10 and are placed in the mode that is similar to magnetic subsides 2 and magnetic subsides 3 respectively.

Logic flow 1600 is embodiment of reflow placement technique.Can adopt other technologies and do not deviate from the spirit of each embodiment.For example, can use different space characteristics definition, perhaps be that different locating rules is used in identical space characteristics definition.

Figure 17 illustrates the embodiment for the logic flow 1700 of balance montage.Logic flow 1700 can represent by in the performed operation of one or more embodiment described herein (developing weighing apparatus module 1014 such as the magnetic that presents assembly 1010) partly or entirely.Logic flow 1700 can represent from the operation of the frame 1506 of logic flow 1500 some or all.The illustrative purpose that is exemplified as that logic flow 1700 can contact among Figure 14 A and Figure 14 B is described, but is not subjected to these example limits.For following discussion, fixing vertical dimension and the translation direction of level have been supposed; Yet logic flow 1700 can be performed similarly for fixing horizontal dimensions and vertical translation direction.

In the illustrated embodiment shown in Figure 17, logic flow 1700 is at the row and column of frame 1702 removable any skies.For example, magnetic develops the magnetic shown in weighing apparatus module 1014 removable Figure 13 and pastes the row of 2,5 and 9 belows.In one embodiment, the capable of regulating remanence pastes the groove of above and below.Present surface 1302 and can with respect to vision area 1304 displacements, cause Figure 14 A.

Logic flow 1700 can identify the contiguous set that magnetic pastes at frame 1704.The adjacent block that magnetic pastes comprise the first magnetic that has at the start edge at the first horizontal coordinate place paste, have at the first horizontal coordinate place or be positioned at by the first magnetic paste across all second magnetic of start edge at horizontal coordinate place of horizontal coordinate any magnetic of pasting and having the start edge of the horizontal coordinate that the magnetic that formerly is added to this piece pastes paste.In Figure 14 A, magnetic subsides 1 and magnetic paste 2 and form the contiguous set that magnetic paste, because their start edge has identical horizontal coordinate.In the horizontal span of magnetic subsides 1 and/or 2, there are not other magnetic to paste.

Logic flow 1700 can determine whether this group (for example, in fixed dimension) on perpendicular to translation direction is placed in the middle.In this context, the magnetic that the above and below that " between two parties " can be included in this group has the gridblock of equal amount pastes." between two parties " can comprise also that wherein the quantity of quantity and gridblock below this group of the gridblock of this group top differs 1 magnetic and pastes.For example, if there is the gridblock of three blank capable, if one group has delegation up, and below two row are arranged, then this group can be placed in the middle.In Figure 14 A, group 1402 has been centered, because there is not null.

Whether logic flow 1700 can check has more magnetic to paste in frame 1710, and if have, then can identify another group at frame 1704 and paste in abutting connection with magnetic.

When not having in frame 1706 magnetic subsides groups when placed in the middle, logic flow 1700 can make this group placed in the middle in fixed dimension.For example, but magnetic develop among the weighing apparatus module 1014 marked graph 14A and paste 3 groups that form 1404 by magnetic.It is 3 placed in the middle that magnetic pastes because its top row not, and below three row are arranged.Magnetic develops weighing apparatus module 1014 and magnetic can be pasted 3 and move down delegation or two row make it placed in the middle, as shown in Figure 14 B.

When more polylith was not wanted rebalancing, logic flow 1700 ended at piece 1712.

Figure 18 A illustrates the example that magnetic wherein pastes 1 deleted montage 1110.Figure 18 B be illustrated in magnetic paste remove after by an example of the montage 1110 of reflow.In conjunction with the logic flow 19 among Figure 19 Figure 18 A and Figure 18 B have been described.

Figure 19 illustrates the embodiment for the logic flow 1900 of reflow montage after being removed in the magnetic subsides.Logic flow 1900 can represent by in the performed operation of one or more embodiment described herein (removing reflow module 1022 such as what present assembly 1010) partly or entirely.The illustrative purpose that is exemplified as that logic flow 1700 can contact among Figure 18 A and Figure 18 B is described, but is not subjected to these example limits.For following discussion, fixing vertical dimension and the translation direction of level have been supposed; Yet logic flow 1900 can be performed similarly for fixing horizontal dimensions and vertical translation direction.Logic flow 1900 can carried out when magnetic subsides generation can be operated minimized white space by reflow similarly when adding in the montage to present.

In the illustrated embodiment shown in Figure 19, logic flow 1900 can be deleted magnetic from montage at frame 1902 and be pasted.For example, make assembly 1020 and can receive from montage 1110 deletion magnetic from the user and paste 1 delete command and can delete this magnetic and paste, thus in this montage the leaving a blank space.

Logic flow 1900 can be specified the first passage width according to the width that the magnetic of deleting pastes at frame 1904.For example, removing reflow module 1022 can be appointed as passage 1802 between the horizontal coordinate at ending (right side) edge of the horizontal coordinate of the start edge that the magnetic deleted pastes and the magnetic subsides of deleting.

Logic flow 1900 can be in the right side edge scanning of frame 1906 from this passage, until run into end edge.For example, removing reflow module 1022 can scan to the right from the right side edge of first passage, until run into end edge.In one embodiment, this scanning can be similar to the sign of the adjacent block of pasting for the frame 1704 described magnetic among Figure 17 to be carried out, and wherein this scanning stops the rightest end edge place that the magnetic in this contiguous set pastes.In Figure 18 A, this next end edge that runs into comprises that

magnetic pastes

5 and 7 end edge.

The breadth extreme that logic flow 1900 can be pasted from the magnetic that runs into this scanning at frame 1908 is specified the width of next passage.For example, passage 1804 can be by the right side edge of passage 1802 and the end edge definition of magnetic subsides 5.The breadth extreme that magnetic in the passage 1804 pastes is that magnetic pastes 5 horizontal dimensions, and it is corresponding to the horizontal dimensions of the combination of magnetic subsides 6 and magnetic subsides 7.

Logic flow 1900 can determine whether have more magnetic to paste on the right side of the passage that has just defined at frame 1910.In Figure 18 A, have more magnetic to paste, and

repeat block

1906 and 1908 is with define channel 1806.Passage 1806 has the defined width of breadth extreme by

magnetic subsides

8,9 and 10.

In case not many magnetic paste on the right side, then at frame 1910, logic flow 1900 can from left to right be each channel allocation " stream (current) ".Stream in each passage is opposite with flow path direction in the adjacency channel.This stream can be directed along fixed dimension.For example, remove reflow module 1022 can distribute " on " stream, shown in the arrow 1810 that points to passage 1802.Passage 1804 can be assigned with D score stream 1812, and passage 1806 can be assigned with " on " stream 1814.Stream can indicate the magnetic in this passage to be attached to when carrying out the reflow process direction with " flowing ".

Logic flow 1900 can sequentially be pasted (frame 1914) to each magnetic subsequently, pastes magnetic as far as possible far mobile at frame 1916 in passage stream.For example, remove reflow module 1022 magnetic can be pasted 2 " on " direction moved to before by magnetic and pasted in 1 space that occupies.In this context, " far away as far as possible " can indicate these magnetic subsides are moved to " downstream " white space with the dimension that can hold these magnetic subsides.Note, in certain embodiments, can push away a magnetic and paste another magnetic subsides of crossing in this passage.

Logic flow 1900 can be attached to this magnetic at frame 1918 that super first passage moves far as far as possible in the translation direction.Have in the context of left and right sides translation direction at this, phrase " far away as far as possible " can indicate in this passage this magnetic to be affixed to move left to have in the white space that can hold the dimension that this magnetic pastes.In addition, if in the adjacency channel on the left of the inlet point of this passage is in enough white spaces are arranged, then these magnetic subsides can be moved in this space." on " inlet point of passage can be the bottom of this passage, and the inlet point of D score passage can be the top of this passage.In Figure 18 B, it is 2 far away as far as possible on translation direction and do not have an adjacency channel in the left side that magnetic pastes.

Logic flow 1900 can determine whether to have this magnetic and paste the more white space that can be moved to wherein in frame 1920.For example, if this magnetic pastes the inlet point that has moved to adjacency channel, then logic flow 1900 can determine whether to have this magnetic and paste the downstream white space that can be moved to wherein.

When more spaces did not come mobile magnetic to paste at frame 1920, logic flow 1900 can select next order magnetic to paste, thereby returns loop head 1914, or when all magnetic subsides were all selected, logic flow can finish at frame 1922.

Continue the discussion of the example shown in Figure 18 A and Figure 18 B, be moved in case magnetic pastes 2, in frame 1914, select magnetic to paste 3.Magnetic pastes 3 tops now three blank lines, and magnetic subsides 3 can be moved upwards up in those blank lines in passage stream, as shown in Figure 18 B.Magnetic subsides 3 are far away as far as possible on translation direction, and does not move in more spaces, so logic flow 1900 selects magnetic to paste 4.

Magnetic pastes 4 and has two row that there is blank line the top, but this insufficient space is so that magnetic pastes 4 moves up in frame 1916.Yet, in the left side of magnetic subsides 4 two row are arranged now, and magnetic subsides 4 can be far as far as possible mobile on translation direction in frame 1918, thereby being pasted 4, magnetic place magnetic to paste under 3.

Magnetic pastes

5,6 and 7 and does not have any white space that they can move into, but when magnetic subsides 4 are moved, has produced the high white space of 4 col widths, 2 row below magnetic subsides 6 and magnetic subsides 7.

Magnetic pastes 8 no longer can be fartherly mobile on this channel direction in passage 1806, but it can paste under 6 and 7 mobile at translation direction at magnetic at frame 1918.

Magnetic pastes 9 and can move up in passage 1806 subsequently, then is that magnetic pastes 10, and logic flow 1900 finishes in this point.

The automatic reflow that magnetic is attached to when being added or deleting can save and must manually each magnetic be pasted the user time that moves to the white space that causes.
